They also issued sets depicting birds and butterflies for those same years. Odd concepts indeed!

Jamaica issued Christmas stamps a few years back that depicted museum art pieces, seemingly none of which had anything to do with the Christmas theme. There are others I've come across that the catalog was the only way you'd know their intended motive.

I guess the bells would be considered labels. They're the coolest part of the block.

Maybe it is a suggestion that Christmas dinner does not have to be a Turkey.

Very interesting, avro!

I propose that the subjects of the stamps were a statement of the value of Christ by the Cuban dictator.:

This, from wiki:

"Castro was baptized and raised a Roman Catholic as a child but did not practice as one. In Oliver Stone's documentary Comandante, Castro states "I have never been a believer", and has total conviction that there is only one life.[2] Pope John XXIII excommunicated Castro in 1962 after Castro suppressed Catholic institutions in Cuba.[3] Castro has publicly criticized what he sees as elements of the Bible that have been used to justify the oppression of both women and people of African descent throughout history."



Another curious example of propaganda on stamps?
